A half-century behind us – and ahead For Terre des hommes, 2010 was a year of cruel paradoxes. We celebrated our 50th anniversary whilst bringing aid to the children of Haiti who had escaped one of the worst earthquakes in history. In the midst of this work in the field, we also had to plan the strategies we want to follow up to 2015.

Let›s mention Haiti first of all, because many people have wanted to criticise the humanitarian aid given there. From the very beginning, our teams mobilised their forces, and reinforcements set out. more than 80,000 disaster-stricken people were given shelters, vital commodities, water points. Our colleagues brought services – in particular sanitation – to the outlying regions, to save the families there making a new exodus to the major roads and to the overcrowded camps. Visits made to and good relationships with some fifty orphanages and schools made it possible to protect a thousand youngsters better against exploitation and trafficking.

In parallel, together we decided on our strategy plan for over thirty countries for the five years ahead. Faced with growing inequality, with climatic instability and natural disasters, faced with disregard for children, Tdh sets up the most sustainable outcome possible. We focus our activities in eight domains for children and their communities. From now on we will be advocating six causes, chosen from our experience and know-how. Our simplified strategic plan is available in the three Swiss national languages and in English, Arabian and Spanish.

Nearly seventy events marked our 50th anniversary celebrations, in Switzerland and abroad. Donors, vol-unteers, Tdh employees – once more they made all the difference: all of them contributed to changing the everyday life of 1.4 million children and their families, and we are more than grateful to them.

Protecting children’s health

NutritioN

Terre des hommes has been able to increase the quality of its interventions thanks to the monitoring of all the 19 projects for mother-and-child health and nutrition, to the visits of specialists to many projects, to clinical training on the integral care of child diseases and acute malnutrition, as well as to the management per Project Cycle during workshops for planning and assessment.

In terms of advocacy, in 2010 Terre des hommes focused on access to health services and the ap-propriate use of ready-to-use therapeutic foods (RuTFs). Emphasis was placed on the promotion of precise rules so as to avoid undernourished people becoming even further dependent on using these foods in an excessive way.

In the context of this issue, Tdh participated in the second meeting of experts from the World Health Organisation on moderate malnutrition, and gave a lecture on the same subject to medicus mundi. As to the problem of access to healthcare, Tdh has joined a campaign for the right of survival for women who are the victims of lack of access to pre- and post-natal care. At the annual meeting of Infant Feeding in Emergencies and during the emergency project in Haiti, Tdh furthered its position of supporting the

practice of breastfeeding. This simple, safe and free practice would save the lives of 1.5 million children world-wide!

Also in 2010, Terre des hommes worked on inte-grating the psychosocial dimension, taking the child and his well-being into account, which is fundamental in every approach to the health projects.

CleaN water for health

In 2010, 15 projects run by Terre des hommes in seven countries included activities connected to water, sanitation and hygiene. Amongst these projects, two types of action models can be distinguished: emergency and rebuilding after a natural disaster (like Haiti, India, myanmar) or long-term activities which are often linked to a health project (e.g. in Bangladesh, Burkina Faso, India, Sri Lanka). In Afghanistan, the project is linked to rural support to improve the systems of irrigation and access to water.

Tdh has renovated water supply networks, water shafts and wells, has constructed ecological latrines, set up systems for waste management, taught hygiene, and strengthened local skills for the management and maintenance of these infrastructures.

Finally, Tdh has increased its participation at platforms of coordination and experience-sharing

in 2010, great emphasis was laid on promoting the right to health, in all its forms, including equality of access to public health services and water, sanitation and hygiene. the 32 projects for health in 18 countries served over 800,000 children and their families, representing nearly 60% of the beneficiaries of terre des hommes.

such as the uN WASH cluster, Aguasan and SusAnA. Experience has shown how important it is to share our information with others, as well as being in-formed of the activities and products developed by our partners so we can improve results.

Several situation analyses done in 2010 enable the development of a new focus on Tdh’s health projects in Guinea, Senegal, Nepal and in Bangladesh, to respond to the needs of the countries which are most behind in reaching the millennium objectives.

health treatmeNt for liviNg

During 2010, 234 children from eleven countries were transferred to Europe to get the specialised treatment they needed to live. The majority of them were operated on in Switzerland (79%), the others in Spain (17%) and in France (4%). Four children out of five suffered from heart disease and one in five from another illness or complaint that put their lives in danger. 415 earlier patients were also monitored by Tdh and then referred to local specialists.

Tdh also invested in the long-term to extend the offer of specialised treatment in the children’s home countries. The establishment of partnerships

between the hospitals abroad and the university hospital institutions in the French-speaking part of Switzerland are a part of the development of local competency. In the framework of the partnership between the university Hospital Centre of Vaud (CHuV) in Lausanne and the Departmental Hos-pital Centre (CHD) in Zou and Benin, two surgical missions enabled operations on 62 Beninese and Togolese children, and to give consultations to 268 others.

Offer children a protective environment

traffiCkiNg aNd exPloitatioN

Terre des hommes intervenes principally against trafficking and the exploitation of working children. In 2010, the majority of the 80,000 youngsters in 15 countries benefited from such help in the context of prevention. Over 20,000 families and professionals dealing with children received benefits and training on prevention. Owing to their personal and family situation, these youths are considered to be potentially at risk and are given various forms of support and social follow-up care. Finally, the right to education, particularly schooling and job training, also fits into the scheme of this work of prevention.

In Eastern Europe, practices and structures to protect children against exploitation and trafficking have been developed so as to become an effective tool of prevention against abuse and violence towards youngsters. This subject will be the purpose of a new focus of intervention, entitled ‘Child Protection Systems’, as from 2011.

JuveNile JustiCe

In 2010, Tdh’s programmes for juvenile justice were continued in eight countries, and initial assessments made in Palestine, Jordan and Egypt.

In Guinea and in mauritania, police officials were given training on the various steps of procedures: the questioning, handcuffing, searching and hearing of a minor. These training courses were followed up by an educational course for national instructors, who are likely to be the final instance for monitor-ing their colleagues.

In juvenile justice, advocacy also consists of convincing the authorities that the practice of alternatives to imprisonment costs considerably less than building prisons and closed educational centres. In Peru, this approach has borne fruit : the government has decided to multiply the initia-tives for restorative juvenile justice in the various quarters of Lima, on the action model used by Terre des hommes in the El Augustino quarter in the past five years.

humaNitariaN Crises aNd armed CoNfliCts

Parallel to the emergency in Haiti, which mobilised many resources, Tdh managed to increase the quality of projects in other situations of humanitarian crisis and armed conflict (Sudan, Indonesia, Sri Lanka, Paki-stan) in 2010. Tdh facilitated access to basic services such as food, health care, vital commodities, water, shelter, and access to information.

in 2010, special importance was given to the protection of the children who are exploited, deprived of liberty, placed in institutions, and in humanitarian crises or armed conflicts. the 67 projects for protection and emergencies run in 31 countries brought aid to nearly 600,000 children and their families, representing over 40% of terre des hommes’ beneficiaries.

Offer children a protective environment

By an often complex process, that of mobilis-ing the communities, Tdh brought support to families and children in the form of meetings and recreational activities with a psychosocial aim. In all its projects, Tdh emphasises complementing and strengthening the skills of co-workers and volunteers, who have often themselves been af-fected by the crisis.

Finally, disaster risk reduction, recently devel-oped, will be set up in an integrated way and will encourage involvement of the children.

iNterNatioNal adoPtioN

Terre des hommes has been placing abandoned children with families in Switzerland for 50 years. Thanks to this practice of international adoption, Tdh has know-how recognised at an international level. Following the earthquake in Haiti, Tdh noted the infatuation of many governments and organisations for adopting children, often without due respect for the legal procedures. In order to prevent child trafficking under cover of adoption, Tdh registered the children in orphanages and brought them back to their home communities or families.

In Nepal, advocacy against the abuse of adoption bore fruit. Little by little, all the countries of desti-nation have suspended their collaboration with the

government, demanding revision of the legislation and adoption procedures.

International adoption can be a solution, but only on condition that it is complementary to national adoption and that abusive practices are fought against.

Evaluation & Quality

aCCouNtability aNd PartiCiPatioN

The consultation and involvement of partners, beneficiaries and community representatives during project planning and implementation are integral components of Tdh’s project management proce-dures. A total of 40 projects in 24 countries were planned in 2010.

A Staff Commission is in regular contact with the management Board to negotiate improvements in the employees’ working conditions. With the double aim of giving it a structure more representative and of improving its methods of working, the Commis-sion’s role was re-examined in 2010.

traNsPareNCy aNd evaluatioN

Tdh adheres to the bookkeeping standards of Swiss GAAP FER, and has its annual accounts audited by recognised public accountants (Ernst &young SA) in Switzerland and in the 33 project countries.

The ISO 9001 certification confirms that the foundation operates with efficient procedures and a simplified administration system, which is in effect also a management instrument. A system of internal audits allows the monitoring of performance on the various sites and in Switzerland throughout the year.

Tdh’s projects and activities generally are subject to various regular evaluations, partly by independent assessors and partly by sponsoring bodies. Nineteen projects were evaluated in 2010. Recommendations arising from such evaluations help the Foundation to improve its working methods as well as the relevance and quality of its projects.

CorPorate goverNaNCe

The Foundation Board meets twice yearly in order to appraise the direction and focus of Tdh in general and the work of the Foundation execu-tive Board committee in particular. In the course of 2010 the number of Foundation Board members was increased by five to nineteen, and includes representatives of the volunteers groups.

The executive Board committee has nine mem-bers and meets seven times a year. It combines professional expertise in the areas of humanitar-ian work, public health, finance, law, marketing, economy and politics.

Tdh conforms to the Swiss NPO Code, which lays down guidelines on corporate governance of large Swiss non-profit organisations. Correspondingly Tdh publishes the Foundation Board expenses and the salary of the general management (see Appendix 15 of the annual accounts, P. 35).

established processes for the planning, supervision and evaluation of projects on the ground contribute to the relevance and quality of our work in countries where we are active. the observation of accounting, management and administration standards for non-profit organisations is crucial for the transparency of tdh’s operations.

Evaluation & Quality

eNviroNmeNtal awareNess

Environmental compatibility depends on energy use, on the management of paper consumption, particularly documents, and on waste management; travel is in principle always by public transport and long-distance travel is monitored. Such demands are carefully observed and savings consistently sought.

the Child ProteCtioN PoliCy

The aim of Tdh’s child protection is to safeguard the hundreds of thousands of children, with whom we are in contact, from abuse such as neglect, mal-treatment and sexual violation. more than 1,400 employees and numerous organisations with which Tdh cooperates in 33 countries support this policy.

The procedures for prevention and protection in-clude an alert mechanism, internal enquiries and, where necessary, the transfer of a case to the police of the country concerned. During the meticulous processing of these cases, the child’s interest is always our central concern. Tdh continues to work towards the worldwide implementation of this child protection policy, and provides specialised training for Tdh personnel and for the personnel of partner organisations.

In 2010 three alleged breaches of the child protec-tion policy were reported in three countries.

2010 – a year of CelebratioN

No fewer than 64 events were set up by the vol-unteer groups, on top of the five central events in Lausanne, Berne and Bellinzona. more than 900,000 people took part, and media coverage came to some 15 million contacts.

A discovery path about Vietnam, with a compe-tition, went with the celebrations and brought to mind the necessity for humanitarian child aid. For its 50th anniversary, Terre des hommes was offered an exclusive series of 20 different coffee cream lids, a total of 4 million lids that were distributed all over Switzerland for three months.

The foundation took advantage of this anniversary to increase its public recognition of 12%, according to the Institute of Swiss market Research GFS, and to improve its image both of devotion to the cause of child relief and of professionalism (persistence, effectiveness, reliability). Its media presence increased by 22% compared to the previous year.

NatioNal fuNdraisiNg aCtivities

Income from activities realised thanks to the val-ued assistance of our 2000 volunteers throughout Switzerland was higher than the previous year. In march, volunteers sold 300,000 oranges to benefit

the cause of better health for children. more than 70 charity concerts or street performances took place during the year. In October, nearly 500 restaurants donated a part of their takings on World Food Day. In November, 3,200 youngsters went onto the streets to mark Child Rights Day. The Child Guardian prize, given to a publicity campaign which respects the appearance of children, was awarded for the fourth time in the framework of Swiss Publicity Day.

CoNfideNt but Careful

In a context where, every day, we have to show proof of the pertinence of our fundraising actions, Terre des hommes continues to redouble its efforts to preserve its effectiveness and to raise some 45% of all its revenue, necessary to finance its projects.

By and large, the results of fundraising remained stable in comparison with last year, except for non-periodic major donations. Tens of thousands of donors stayed faithful and the number of sympathisers has increased regularly since its initiation 8 years ago. The possibility of investing in child relief has been taken up by some new donors. Our poster campaign and the year-end all-household mailing on nutrition met with out-and-out success.

Our donors showed great generosity towards the victims of the terrible earthquake in Haiti. We would like to thank them wholeheartedly for their solidarity!

to celebrate the 50th anniversary of terre des hommes, many events were organised in switzerland as well as in the delegations in the field. a sculpture was unveiled in lausanne on 22nd July to mark half a century of child support, and will be a visual symbol of our engagement for the decades ahead.

towards New, more iNteraCtive Platforms

In June, Terre des hommes launched a new Internet site read by more than 16,000 visitors each month. This three language site is updated daily, and each week several new articles are published about the advances made in our field projects.

Furthermore, each group of volunteers has its own mini-site that it can update in a decentralised way, to inform about the activities in its own region. We also launched a blog in October, and regularly publish stories there. In September, we reactivated the monthly mailing of an electronic newsletter to our volunteers, our donors and our sympathisers.

Terre des hommes’ pages and accounts on Twit-ter, Facebook and Linkedin were developed in parallel. Video viewing steadily increased to reach 3,000 viewers a month. Nearly 900 people bought articles from our online shop ein. In 2010, we also launched the collection of donations by texting, and will continue to develop fundraising via new media in the years to come.

Terre des hommes has developed a system of child protection based mainly around the structures run by social workers, schools and the most marginalized communities (Roma) in Albania. Thanks to the on-going training of 457 people, 4,120 children (most of them victims of violence or exploitation, or at risk) were identified and given direct support. Special efforts were made towards prevention, in particular strengthening the individual and social abilities of vulnerable chil-dren, and on collaboration with local partners. In 2010, these child protection structures were made law, thanks to intensive advocacy with the authorities, ensuring the viability of the activities.

georgia

Following the conflict between Geor-gia and Russia over break-away region of South Ossetia in August 2008, a wave of displacement occurred in Georgia, affecting around 130,000 persons. Immediately after, Tdh in-tervened to help children and their families and implemented a project providing psychosocial assistance and child protection in Tbilisi, then in the new settlements in mtskheta region and in villages of returnees in Shida Kartli. The project offered psy-chosocial support to 2,000 children, special care to 230 vulnerable children and empowered 1,200 community members at dealing with child pro-tection issues. The intervention was highly appreciated by communities and stakeholders and was considered as a successful take-over from the communities after Tdh departure, by the end of April 2010.

huNgary

Terre des hommes’ Regional Office advocates for the better protection of children from the worst forms of exploitation and trafficking in Europe. It published a report “Dis-appearing, departing, running away, a surfeit of children in Europe?” in January, as well as two other major publications including guidelines on child protection and responses to child trafficking. Through the pro-ject called mario, Tdh supported the training of 616 professionals in 4 countries in Eastern Europe and completed two transnational actions that identified 153 migrant children in need of protection. In march, the redesigned version of the website http://tdh-childprotection.org was launched. The number of visitors increased by 18% and the newslet-ter reaching 4,000 subscribers is sent every week.

kosovo

Terre des hommes protects vul-nerable children exposed to the dangers of abuse, exploitation, trafficking or delinquency in Ko-sovo. These children are identi-fied and an appropriate solution is set up by a group of public and private persons, well trained and working in close coordination in 6 municipalities. These social work-ers, school psychologists, police, NGO managers and community leaders also organise activities for prevention: awareness-making for parents, summer camps and games and sport for the children. In 2010, 4,539 youngsters were followed up individually and 13,156 took part in various activities to increase their self-respect and improve their group inclusion.

moldova

Tdh cooperates trans-nationally to detect and then reintegrate moldovan children who are the victims of trafficking and exploitation in Russia and the ukraine. Tdh also works to strengthen the skills of local people – social workers and teachers – who play a part in the protection of the children in mol-dova. 440 children, identified as in danger of being neglected, abused, exploited, or trafficked, benefited from measures of protection. more than 3,837 youngsters joined in group activities, awareness-making or summer camps, organised in particular by the regional project mOVE. This project aims at develop-ing a network of sports facilitators who will use psychosocial activities to help vulnerable and marginalized youngsters improve their well-being.

romaNia

Terre des hommes worked mainly in seven communities from Dolj County, involving 140 local actors (social workers, teachers and Roma mediators, experts, animators, in-structors trained by Tdh) in identify-ing 1,372 vulnerable children and by offering them afterschool activities, psychosocial activities and other dif-ferent direct support. Afterschool activities enabled children to increase their knowledge and skills and also significantly improved their school attendance. During the summer holiday, an amount of 651 activities were conducted in 13 communities in which over 800 children took part. In organizing and conduct-ing activities, 40 animators were involved, guided and supervised by two monitors. In parallel, social workers were strengthened in their capacity to monitor children at risk of trafficking and exploitation.

In the cities of Fortaleza, Sâo Luís and Río, Tdh has aided more than 9,860 children in the sectors of juve-nile justice, the social reintegration of street children and in the fight against exploitation. At the same time, a policy of protection against violence and abuse was set up in some fifty institutions. Thanks to the transfer of competency realised by Tdh, 4,583 professionals were given training. Furthermore, the advocacy work done with peo-ple working in child protection enabled the setting up of national and regional programmes for the protection of the most vulnerable children and their families. Finally, Tdh confirmed its engagement to-wards restorative juvenile justice through the establishment and strengthening of a project in the north-eastern region.

Colombia

In Colombia, Tdh continues its fight against the sexual exploitation of children. The project concentrates

its efforts in the field of advocacy, training, and the legal representa-tion of the victims of this blight. The year 2010 marked a precedent in the history of Colombian justice, when, for the first time ever, a for-eigner was sentenced to 15 years’ imprisonment for paedophilia after a trial in which Tdh represented the victims. moreover, Tdh brought aid to and defended the rights of nearly 4,000 persons displaced by the armed conflict. Through com-munity training courses, the project has improved the health of children and their families, guaranteed ac-cess to education, sensitised about intra-family violence and prompted the authorities to take these com-munities into account.

Chile

After the February 2010 earth-quake, “Tierra de Esperanza”, Tdh’s Chilean partner, carried out emer-gency intervention in the region of Dichato, one of the areas most badly hit. Eight recreation centres were built in the temporary camps, offering the children a reassuring

set-up. Artistic workshops – theatre, music, sport – made it possible for the youngsters to express their emotions and to recover their self-confidence. The children needing specialised, individual monitoring were identified and referred ap-propriately. Community workers were also trained so as to guar-antee continuity at the end of the project. In this way, more than 200 children, as well as their families and the community, benefited from support, to help them face up to the problems encountered.

eCuador

The mother-and-child health and protection project continued its work in 17 poor quarters of Santo Domingo and its surroundings. 283 community agents were given train-ing in health, child protection and community development. These agents took part in the identifica-tion of 159 pregnant women and 989 children needing psychological or medical attention. Discussion groups were held in the commu-nities to make everyone aware of

the consequences of abuse. Tdh also supported the presentation of community projects to the local au-thorities. These projects concerned an improvement in living conditions by setting up basic infrastructures. Several projects saw the light of day and are managed and followed-up by the communities themselves.

haiti

The powerful earthquake that rocked Haiti on 12 January 2010 killed some 300,000 people and left 1.3 million people homeless. Tdh, that has been active in Haiti for more than 20 years, launched its largest humanitarian response in 50 years of existence. Emergency teams provided aid and improve the living conditions of more than 90,000 people. Temporary shelters were supplied to 20,000 people. Nine community recreational cent-ers were opened for 5200 children and their families. 30,400 children benefitted from basic health care and nutritional screening, and 745 extremely vulnerable children re-ceived individualized measures of

protection. 23,400 people had ac-cess to clean water and hygiene and sanitation measures. For this to be achieved, more than 200 Haitians worked alongside with 26 expatriates.

NiCaragua

The first phase of the project for juvenile justice and prevention of juvenile delinquency was concluded in 2010, with results qualified as ‘very satisfactory’ by the external assessor. This person mentioned several positive impacts. Firstly, the project gave a substantial improvement in the application of educational measures instead of imprisonment. Secondly, it brought a change of paradigm to the judges for minors who now see restorative justice as a positive response to the phenom-enon of juvenile violence. Finally, it enhanced the pertinence of Tdh’s role as counselling organi-sation to the Supreme Court of Justice. moreover, the 3 years of intervention benefited 5,967 minors in conflict with the law,

and more than 18,900 children and adolescents at high social risk.

Peru

The project for restorative juvenile justice continued its activities in the underprivileged quarters of Lima and Chiclayo. Tdh looked after 265 adolescents during their detention at the police station, 121 followed a programme of psycho-educational orientation, so contributing to the reduction of second offences to 3%. With this, 94 victims of offences were given support by a special-ised team, allowing the offender to realise the act he had committed, and put the damage right, whilst restoring the social link between the adolescent offender and the community. In 2010, public funds enabled this unique experience to be replicated in new areas. At the end of the year, Tdh handed over to its partner Kusi Warma the project in Ventanilla (Lima) for the prevention of malnutrition, which had previously been run together.

After the closing of the Oasis cen-tre, the work now taken over by a network of host families aims at avoiding placing child victims of exploitation, trafficking and mis-treatment, in an institution. This re-orientation involves the State and civil society and ensures the intervention’s sustainability. Tdh helps families and local authorities protect the youngsters in Zakpota (Benin) who work in the stone quar-ries of Abeokuta (Nigeria). All the children under 14 have now been taken out of these quarries, and a total of 3,937 have been steered towards school attendance and ap-prenticeship. Tdh facilitated access to basic health care for 488 children aged 0 to 5, as well as 548 pregnant women and mothers, thanks to a fund for the poor financed by the State. 276 children benefited from specialised health care, including 26 who were treated in Switzerland.

burkiNa faso

Tdh continues its work of strength-ening the existing systems of child protection so as to fight efficiently against the massive exploitation of children. This has made it pos-sible to bring direct aid to 3,500 vulnerable youngsters such as little domestic workers, child beggars and children exploited in the min-ing sector. In 2010, Tdh was also involved in restorative justice for minors in conflict with the law, and enabled some thirty of these youngsters to be given alternative punishments to imprisonment. Besides all this, Tdh continues its fight against acute malnutrition, which is now diminishing thanks to a programme of grants for health care for over 100,000 children and pregnant women, to reinforcing the heath system in two districts and to the work of prevention in the communities.

8,515 children suffering from acute malnutrition were looked after by the project for mother-and-child health and nutrition developed in the largest district of Conakry. Tdh boosts the potential of the agents in charge of nutrition and improves attendance at the health centres, thanks to the campaigns for awareness-making by its network of volunteer community workers. In the context of specialised health care, 33 children benefited from being brought to Europe, and 255 were post-operatively followed-up. The project for protection enabled 1,096 children – child soldiers, street children and those in conflict with the law – who originally came from Conakry and Guinea Forest, to regain their fundamental rights, and for 369 people working in protec-tion to improve their knowledge of child rights and justice for minors.

The new health and nutrition project in El mina village at Nouakchott enabled 18,585 children to benefit from high quality treatment. 28 health workers were supported technically. The collaboration with the special unit for nutrition at the national hospital continued, for taking care of children affected by severe, acute malnutrition with complications. Specialised health care was given to 196 children, of whom 42 were treated abroad. All of them were helped with socio-educational integration when their treatment was completed. The protection constituent backed up 3,073 minors in conflict with the law or victims of penal offences, with legal, health or reintegration support. 415 people involved in protection benefited from profes-sional training on child rights.

Promotion of mother-and-child care in the health district of Podor enabled 9,143 children and their mothers to be looked after. The village meetings on health educa-tion made it possible for everyone to increase their knowledge. 223 health and community workers enjoyed training and technical support. Specialised health care was given to 126 children, 21 of them treated abroad and 19 locally. They were all helped with their socio-educational reintegration when their medical treatment was over. The project for protec-tion helped with support for 256 youngsters who no longer went out begging. At the same time, 150 professionals on childhood were trained in the framework of a national initiative for social protection for vulnerable children.

Over 1,000 child victims of abuse benefited from individual support in 2010. Beaten, abandoned, ex-ploited, sometimes violated, Terre des hommes fights at the side of these youngsters for the defence of their rights. Now wanting to go further in this struggle, Tdh backs the Togolese government in the creation of a National Cen-tre for Child Victims of Abuse, which should see the light of day in 2011. A project for host families is also being studied to strengthen this process. Further-more, whether in their villages of origin or the places where the children migrate to, Tdh works to strengthen the community systems of child protection. Like this, Tdh and the communities ensure improved well-being of the children, wherever they are.

7,062 orphans and children at risk were looked after in 2010, thanks to the improved abilities of the 844 members of the community structures. In the project for re-storative juvenile justice, 1,056 minors were given assistance. Following the advocacy work of Tdh, alternative measures to prison are now preferred by the judges: 132 youngsters were sent home to their parents, 299 were given warnings and 58 cases for mediation were registered. 548 imprisoned youngsters benefited from food, free time and various gifts. Work with the ministries of Justice and Solidarity was done at the same time, so as to give our intervention an institutional foundation. Through support of our local partners Giriyuja, Tdh made it possible to help 341 children in a street situation in Bujumbura.

Tdh’s work on systems of protec-tion accelerated in 2010 with the involvement of teachers, support to community structures and the opening of the maison Amie des Enfants (Children’s Friends’ House) in the town of Beira, where various activities are offered to orphans and other children. This year, 1,783 children were helped directly, and more than 32,700 people worked with our protection agents. The interventions responded to the needs for living (food, shelter), for information (theatre, debates, organised activities) and they also worked in-depth to improve fami-lies’ living conditions. The micro-projects, work on bereavement and family and social integration were complementary to activities by the State and national associations.

In Cairo, the project enabled 20 social assistants working with refu-gees to get training and to receive a certificate of specialisation in psychosocial intervention. 1,400 refugees benefited from psychoso-cial aid: individual and family sup-port, sport or recreational activi-ties for children, crisis mediation, etc. In Damietta in Lower Egypt, and in Assiut in the centre of the country, Tdh continued its work on protection for 6,870 labouring children, to improve their condi-tions of apprenticeship and their working surroundings by making their employers more aware. In upper Egypt, Tdh continues its ac-tivities with groups of handicapped people and children, by insisting on access to public services and the rights of the handicapped.

In Rabat, Tdh gave support to 104 migrant women and babies from the Sub-Sahara, by facilitating their access to family and paediatric health care. They also benefited from psy-chosocial help and social aid. The Tdh centre has become a meeting place for talks between the migrants and the moroccans. In six villages in the Agadir region, 108 families were made aware of the issues of protection, rights and the interest in schooling of young girls, and the dangers involved in domestic labour. more than 100 little girls were able to be (re)-integrated in school. 51 children with heart disorders were given surgery in Europe and 17 in morocco. 349 children were thus looked after by Tdh for the monitoring of the operations, direct help and social inquiries.

2010 proved that Darfur remains a war zone. The conflicts led to new displacement of over 100,000 individuals and important fatalities. Present since 2004, Tdh keeps run-ning 3 Internally Displaced Persons camps around El Geneina benefiting around 57,000 individuals. During 2010 around 3,500 shelters were built or maintained benefiting 18,000 individuals. Following a decision to focus on integration of displaced population and in recognition of the vulnerabilities of host community, the network of 35 Child Friendly Spaces in camps was complemented with opening of 4 CFS in town, benefiting 8,000 children and teenagers. more than 1,000 children received individual follow up. A stronger relationship was established with the Department of Social Welfare contributing to the sustainability of the intervention.

In Kabul and Kandahar, the mother-and-child project helped women and new-born babies in the most vulnerable villages and to inland-displaced persons, by bringing them medical treatment and items of basic necessity. 14,181 new-born babies received health care and 189,454 women and children at-tended sessions for health and hygiene education. The Consortium for Child Rights is in its 6th year and continues its work with the ministries to bring into existence a global plan for the social protection of Afghani children. 38,848 children have benefited from the project, of whom 2,043 have gone back to school, 40% of them girls. The project for rural development in Rustaq enabled the communities of 100 villages to be given advice on apiculture, agriculture and irrigation.

In Peshawar, 1’782 children attended the centres of our partners, whose activities enabled 674 working children to go (or go back) to school. After the flooding which raged in Pakistan in Summer 2010, Tdh brought help to 7,200 children and 3,600 families by distributing emergency kits of food, building materials, hygiene items, kitchen equipment, and school supplies. To avoid the children (at a loose end due to the schools closing following the floods) starting to go to work, two reception centres were opened to look after 1,259 youngsters. Tdh supported 2,000 children who were able to go back to school. A similar project was set up on the other side of the border, in Afghanistan, with 5,383 children and 3,076 adults.

In Beirut, the project of psycho-social support for Iraqi refugees continued for a further year. 75 people received aid from psy-chologists and 313 families were helped. For the second year, Tdh continued its work in the camps for Palestinian refugees in South Lebanon. The camp authorities renewed their confidence in Tdh, which consolidated the collabora-tion. 531 families and 666 young-sters were looked after by our teams. Tdh also worked with 43 particularly vulnerable children who needed specialised monitor-ing. 70 young people set up small community projects and 121 em-ployees of local NGOs received training on the “management and transformation of conflicts”.

In spite of relative improvements in the conditions of safety in Iraq, a large number of Iraqis have chosen to remain in exile in Jordan and Syria. The psychosocial and mental health activities set up since 2007 made it possible to realise the se-verity of the symptoms shown by Iraqi refugees. The centre in Am-man and the two centres in Damas took in some 3,000 Iraqi children, adolescents and adults. 964 families received material support, 931 children attended the centres and 139 youngsters received training. It could be observed that there was a 70% improvement in their well-being. At the end of 2010, Tdh inaugurated a new pilot project aimed at consolidating the system of juvenile justice in Amman. A first workshop with magistrates has been organised.

In Gaza, Tdh and its partner Ard El Insan finalised a project for school reintegration for 50 youngsters from poor families badly hit by the 2009 conflict. Their families were financially supported with micro-projects. The Ard El Insan health centre carried out a nutri-tional evaluation of 2,695 children, and made 2,502 mothers aware of breastfeeding, malnutrition and child health. Tdh worked together with people from the technical unit of mental and psychosocial health in Gaza to improve their skills of intervention with children. In Hebron, the psychosocial project continued in the schools, helping 7,528 youngsters. 3,900 could join in movement, Games and Sport sessions. An evaluation of justice for minors was carried out with the aim of developing a future project in the Hebron and Gaza regions.

The powerful earthquakes that struck off the western Sumatra coast in Indonesia in September 2009 provoked extremely impor-tant human and material damages in the region of Padang. After a first emergency response to the

earthquake related needs (com-munity kitchen and distribution of non food items), in collaboration with Tdh Netherlands and its local partner, Bina Vitalis, Tdh started the implementation of a programme to address protection and psychosocial needs of affected children and fami-lies. During 2010 the project reached 1,143 children through recreational activities and 70 vulnerable children having specific needs. 39 members form local implementing partner, Bina Vitalis, were strengthened their capacities in supervising and monitoring child protection and psychosocial activities.

and 40 child hygiene peer groups are now using child to child training methods in schools. 43 community WASH committees were formed to maintain water and sanitation infrastructure. Tdh’s newly formed social work team worked with the Department of Social Welfare on family reintegration of children from government training schools. 4 children made a successful return and a further 30 await a return to community life in early 2011.

2010 Tdh celebrated a quarter of a century of concrete action for children in Nepal. Following our advocacy work and suspension of intercountry adoptions, the Govern-ment requested Tdh to help write its alternative care policy for children deprived of parental care. Our protection work in four districts, as well as our unprecedented foster and kinship care schemes, were cited as examples nationally. In terms of anti-trafficking work 275 children were withdrawn from sexual ex-ploitation and 18 repatriated from

India. Tdh stepped up its work to combat malnutrition and continued support to an orthopaedic hospital founded 25 years ago. Our work in 19 brick kilns around Kathmandu started to bear fruit. more than 110’000 persons benefited from our actions which represented a 20% increase compared to 2009.

2010 was the last year of a three years disengagement phase of Terre des hommes Foundation’s Pro-gramme for Social Protection and Integration of children in street situation. At the end of march 2011, Tdh did officially withdraw from Vietnam, in order to develop similar activities in myanmar. In Vietnam, we observe a remarkable progress in poverty reduction and a greater attention to child protection. Tdh’s close cooperation with local part-ner organisations (both state and non-state) and their strengthening through the provision of professional training and capacity building have made it possible for them to take over. They will continue the social activities in the area of basic educa-tion, vocational training and legal recognition for children and youth at risk of falling in street situation.

Appendix to the Annual Financial Statement

A/ BASIS FOR THE PRESENTATION OF ACCOuNTS The presentation of the accounts of the Terre des hommes Foundation conforms to the recommendations relating to the Swiss GAAP ARR with comparative figures; to Swiss law; to the directives of the ZEWO Foundation (Swiss Central Office for Charities); as well as to the Statutes of the Foundation. The accounts are prepared on the principle of his-torical cost base accounting and presented in Swiss Francs. The accounting periods are determined by transaction date principle, expenses as well as rev-enues are booked to the period. They give a true image of the capital of the organization, the financial situation and the results.

B / SCOPE OF THE FINANCIAL STATEmENTSThe financial situation of the Terre des hommes Founda-tion includes transactions originating from Head Office as well as from delegations abroad. Concerning partner contributions, only cash contributions are considered.

C/ LINKED GROuPSVolunteer Groups (Working Groups, WG) in Switzer-land have the legal status of independent associations: they are not subject to the predominant influence of the Terre des hommes Foundation, and are not included in the perimeter of the annual statement. However, the Foundation presents an integral view of the activities of the 25 Working Groups in Switzerland as additional non-audited information in the appendix to the Statement of Accounts (page 37). The income generated by the Working Groups is integrated in the Foundation’s accounts according to the principle of cash basis following payment of the latter.

D/ FOREIGN CuRRENCy CONVERSIONOperations in foreign currency are registered using exchange rate of the accounting month. The assets and liabilities of the balance on December 31 are converted into Swiss francs based on the exchange rate valid at a bank of reference on December 31. The results of these conversions are entered in the operating accounts of the financial year.

E / CASHLiquid assets include cash holdings, postal check and bank account holdings at Head Office and abroad: holdings on sight and on term are valued at the nominal value.

F/ SECuRITIESSecurities are listed in the Statement at their market value on the closing date. Investments conform to the regulations for investments of the Terre des hommes Foundation, aiming firstly for the conservation of value and secondly for an appropriate interest according to the state of the market, only bonds rated double or triple A are authorized; for other inherited securities, the principle of immediate sale is adopted.

G/ RECEIVABLES & PREPAymENTS AND ACCRuED INCOmEDebts and current accrued liabilities are shown at their nominal value, after deducting corrections to the necessary value.

H/ FIXED ASSETSAssets appear in the balance at historical value less deduction of depreciation calculated according to a linear depreciation method depending on the length of usual utilization:

31SummARy

Appendix to the Annual Financial Statement

Since January 1st, 2010, the building located at the mont-sur-Lausanne has to be regarded as an asset held for financial reasons. Fixed assets held for finan-cial reasons are evaluated at the cost of acquisition.

*The Terre des hommes Foundation utilizes the material and vehicles in the framework of its projects abroad: this material and these vehicles are recorded in the accounts on acquisition and thus do not appear as active in the balance. This situation is justified by the fact of the insta-bility of the contexts and difficult conditions under which the Terre des hommes Foundation operates, making it difficult to fix a length of utilization, in general short, and any residual value.

I/ FINANCIAL ASSETS Capital assets appear in the balance at historical value, taking into account any necessary corrections of value.

J/ RESERVESEnd of contracts allowances: Funds used to cover the allowances in favour of local staff in the event of the non planed closing of project abroad. Rule: 3% on the wages of the local employees but to the maximum of one month of total wages.

K/ uNRESTRICTED FuNDSunrestricted funds reflect the result between expenses and products either by country or by intervention axis. In case of a product surplus, capital is raised, in case of excess costs, capital is deducted. These funds can be utilized by the Foun-dation on request to the Council of the Foundation or to the Office of the Council according to the regulations of the organization.

L/ VALuATION OF GIFTSGifts received in form of services or merchandise are valued at the lowest price on the local mar-ket. Volunteer work contributions are valued at CHF 25.- an hour.

m/ REVENuE RECOGNITIONIncome from fund raising is recorded with respect to the wish of the donor. Institutional income is recorded according to the contract signed between the Terre des hommes Foundation and the fund sponsor taking into account the expenses incurred. The cash basis principle is adopted for income collected from funds other than institutions and foundations, legacies and cantons. All income received without special notice is allocated to the fund for free disposal. For other categories of income, revenues are applied based on expenses incurred by the project and/or according to the contract signed with the sponsor. As a result, revenues are recognised as and when the conditions are met, otherwise they are differentiated as funds allocated or as financing receivables. The amounts received from governments and institutions cannot be regarded as definitely established until these organisations have carried out their own controls and they have validated the final project cost.

N/ TAXESTerre des hommes foundation is exempted of direct taxes on the income (revenue and legacies) accord-ing to decision of December 1998. This decision is subjected to no condition since January 1st, 2010. Terre des hommes foundation is subjected to the Value added tax (VAT).

To the Foundation Council of the Foundation Terre des hommes, Le Mont-sur-Lausanne

Lausanne, Mai 27 2010 As auditors, we have audited the accompanying financial statements of Foundation Terre des hommes, which comprise the balance sheet, statement of operations funds flow statement, statement of changes in capital and notes, pages 27 to 35, for the year ended 31st December 2010. Foundation council’s responsibilityThe Foundation council is responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with Swiss GAAP FER, the requirements of Swiss law as well as with the deed of foundation. This responsibility includes designing, implementing and maintaining an internal control system relevant to the preparation of financial statements that are free from mate-rial misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. The Foundation council is further responsible for selecting and applying appropriate accounting policies and making accounting estimates that are reasonable in the circumstances.

Auditor’s responsibilityOur responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with Swiss law and Swiss Auditing Standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers the internal control system relevant to the entity’s preparation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control system. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of the accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

OpinionIn our opinion, the financial statements for the year ended December 31st 2010 present a fair view of the financial posi-tion, the results of operations and the cash flows in accordance with Swiss GAAP FER, comply with Swiss law and with the deed of foundation.

Report on other legal requirementsWe confirm that we meet the legal requirements on licensing according to the Auditor Over-sight Act (AOA) and in-dependence (Art. 83b al 3 CC in liaison with Art. 728 Code of Obligations (CO) and that there are no circumstances incompatible with our independence.In accordance with art. 83b al. 3 CC in liaison with article 728a paragraph 1 item 3 CO and Swiss Auditing Standard 890, we confirm that an internal control system exists, which has been designed for the preparation of financial statements according to the instructions of the Foundation council.

We recommend that the financial statements submitted to you be approved.Furthermore we confirm that the relevant regulations of the Central Office for Charitable Organisations (ZEWO) are respected.

Terre des hommes wishes to thank more specifically

in 2010, over one million beneficiaries received direct help thanks to contributions from our volunteers, partner organisations, institutions, sponsors, donors, fieldworkers and employees abroad and in switzerland.however, we must also thank those who showed their solidarity by making a bequest to the world’s children through terre des hommes.

Terre des hommes is the leading Swiss organisation for child relief. Founded in 1960, Terre des hommes helps to build a better future for disadvantaged children and their communities, with an innovative approach and practical, sustainable solutions. Active in more than 30 countries, Tdh develops and implements field projects to allow a better daily life for over 1.4 million children and their close relatives, particularly in the domains of health care and protection. This engagement is financed by individual and institutional support, of which 85% flows directly into the programs of Tdh.
